Middle Class

Roti Kapda aur Makan is the basic need of human life but what else are those needs that force them to work hard, Being a part of society, Humans are born with lots of responsibility not only for self but for their family too. Various thinker define it as hierarchy of need, Physiological, safety, love-belonging, love-esteem and self-actualization, and these needs are always growing, we take birth, and spend almost whole of our life in school-colleges and then similar pattern for their children after marriage, with a fear of insecurity to grow, to save for their future and the process goes on. 

                           Need drive their life and motivate towards different satisfaction like few with satisfaction of money, few for education and few for mental stability. For the same during the first economic evolution economist created class system as per monetary assets value to prevent invasion of low economic group people and balance in economy and for harmony among society. Society was divided among three 1. Low class people/labor group 2. Middle class people 3. High Income-class people.

                Historian defines classes according to their relation with the means of production/ assest value like property/gold and numbers of animals. The middle class is defined as the class blow the high income/ruling clas and above the labor / proletarian class. 

“The word middle class is not a monetary decree, it is how we think, how we feel and make decisions about others, but usually about ourselves. With years of experience I define middle class as a mentality or mindset who is looking for stability in life, stability over enterprise or in emotions etc. Mostly people, who have fear of the change belongs to this so called middle class trait or personality type.

Middle class is a fear of borrowing money, an arrogance of being debt free. Middle Class mindsets are what banks survive on. Taking low interest interest deposits from middle class mindsets, proposing them a false sense of security, and lending to those not imprisoned by the middle class mind set. Never mind that they would never pay it back.

                                     I have always been middle class and struggled with it. During the past, little success moment gave some chance to enjoy with elite but again next moment made me realized what I am, (just a middle class) and finally thrown back to where I belong, Mostly because inside me I feel, I don’t deserve it. Middle class mean that you don’t deserve to be extraordinary/ or you are not supposed to be there or to have these achievements. It was in with last generation and still in with the present. 

The middle class. It meant knowing you were consigned to a high moral ground but otherwise to ordinariness. That you would forever be a job seeker than a job creator. But these job creators in India were those who have thrown caution and morality to the winds. And actually turned out to be employers! Yet middle class meant seeking jobs in foreign multinationals, for their sins were unknown to us. They happened so far away that you assumed those sins did not exist.

                             Middle Class also mean certain thrift, with aspiration along with few pairs of cloth, with full of Creativity to break middle class boundaries and barriers. When I look back in past, I realize that I was looking at my middle class moralities. I did not even realize it then.

And I am writing this at home, alone in my room with new aspiration, considering lots of people who were rejected or denied in earlier stages of life, but now consider as great source of inspiration for all, gives immense pleasure and vibrancies to think positive.

See how strong the middle class mind set is? 

Every night I sleep with dreams, dreams of today, dreams of tomorrow, and sometimes with the painful memories of past. What should I do or don’t are still a mystery to me. Responsibility of future has sprouted a thought of insecurity and realized me that I am just so middle class.

But I still have a question that will I ever be able to generate the same courage to break the shackles of being middle class?

Who knows, but it’s a question I always ask myself
